Prerequisites
-------------
For each prerequisite, the version with which JArgs has been tested is given
in parentheses. Any version equal to or later than this should work.
Apache Ant (1.4.1), by The Apache Software Foundation, from
http://ant.apache.org/. Ant is used to build JArgs, and to run its tests.
JUnit (3.7), by Eric Gamma, et al, from http://sourceforge.net/projects/junit.
JUnit is used to run the unit tests, and is not needed to run the library
itself.
Installation
------------
To compile, package, and test the code, run
ant
Two jars are created, one called lib/jargs.jar, which contains the runtime
library, and one called lib/jargs-test.jar, which contains the unit tests and
the examples. The Javadoc APIs are created in doc/api.
To use the library with your own code, simply ensure that lib/jargs.jar is on
the CLASSPATH.
